Abstract:Cathodic protection is an effective method to slow down the corrosion of reinforcing bars in sea sand concrete structures. This chapter focuses on studying the evolution process of the bond performance between the embedded zinc alloy anode and the reinforcing bars in sea sand concrete for up to 360 days. A bond-slip constitutive model under the action of corrosion and friction is established in combination with the experimental data. The results show that the embedded zinc alloy anode protects the reinforcing bars in a sacrificial anode manner, the bond strength of the reinforcing bars does not deteriorate, the bond performance of the corroded anode deteriorates, and the bond strength increases slightly. A bond-slip constitutive model is established based on the bond-slip relationship obtained from the test, and an optimization scheme for the embedded zinc alloy anode suitable for long-term use is proposed.
